The Galaxy Fold bends like a book and sports a 4.6-inch display on the outside and a 7.3-inch tablet screen on the inside.

Huawei Technologies has recently unveiled a folding smartphone which it said was primed for next generation 5G mobile connections.

In all the hype and frenzy, we forgot to ask: does anyone really need a foldable phone? You can learn everything about it right here.

And although more vendors will soon follow with their own takes on foldable displays, 2019 will not be the year they go mainstream, market analysts Canalys said.

The Huawei Mate X is similar to Samsung's device in that it unfolds to become a tablet device, but from the limited glimpses we've had of it so far, it looks to be a much better implementation.

The company aims to turn some of their concepts into consumer-ready devices by 2020.

Of course, it's very early days for the Huawei Mate X, and foldable phones in general. The Huawei Mate X folds out flat, courtesy of the company's patented "Falcon Wing" hinge technology. There's no word on the specifications as of yet. Oppo is taking a "wait and see" approach, apparently.

OPPO might be regretting their decision not to bring a prototype of their foldable smartphone to MWC 2019. We should expect that the new Galaxy Note 10 will feature 5G connectivity, since there will be close to 6 months between now and its release.
